For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, see the conflict of interest guideline and frequently asked questions for organizations.

Comments and requests
Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).

Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by out WP:OUTING policy) would you please disclose if you have some connection with Garric Simonsen? You can answer how ever you wish (giving personally identifying information or not), but if there is a connection with Garric Simonsen, please disclose it. After you respond (and you can just reply below), perhaps we can talk a bit about editing Wikipedia, to give you some more orientation to how this place works. You can reply here - I am watching this page. Brianhe (talk) 21:35, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

I am PhD candidate (Art History) at an unspecified University w/ no formal connection to the person Garric Simonsen. Scholarly research has led to the creation of the page Garric Simonsen and was created in the interest of wikipedia's best practices.
 * OK thanks for your prompt reply. I had to ask because of the similarity between your username and his website's domain name. You might want to put a bit about yourself on your userpage which is now a redlink (User:Antipainter). This will help to head off similar questions in future. — Brianhe (talk) 03:12, 15 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you and suppose I created user like one would name files and folders, not thinking ahead and not too familiar with Wikipedia's thorough examination of content/COI. There are additional pages and content ahead - FYI research based is Swedish/American emigrant's history in Pacific Northwest.
 * Cool, and if you didn't know there's a fairly active group of 'pedians here in the PNW. I'll drop you an invitation to an event series at UW in a moment. – Brianhe (talk) 23:28, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Very important followup question. When you uploaded images of Simonsen works File:ABRACADABRA.jpg and File:Garric Simonsen, drawings (2015).JPG, you indicated that you are the copyright holder. Can you explain this in light of the statement above? Brianhe (talk) 23:40, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
 * During a studio visit with the artist and attending a major Museum Biennial I took photographs of ABRACADABRA and drawings with consent of artist and institution, thank you for being thorough I ensure you all is compliant, I must say.
 * If it is questioning the abdication of such an image you're welcome to contact the artist, of whom, as stated in the latter, I have no formal connection with, and of whom in fact has asked to keep a copy of this photographic image for personal use. Of course this is fine. Without further question I wish to continue building content for this project funded by a major international fellowship.
 * This is a pretty serious non compliance actually since you are not the copyright holder as you stated in the upload. Review 2D art copyright rules if you don't understand why. I'm going to have to bring this up for review on Wikimedia Commons, as preserving copyright holders' rights is taken very seriously. The burden of obtaining formal (i.e. written) permission is on the uploader (you), not on me. – Brianhe (talk) 00:31, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
 * So I do not loose ground and that you are obviously far more knowledgeable of wikipedia doctrine, be so kind as to plainly state what exactly it is your insisting happens. Chasing links and deciphering meanings and rules can run into many problems, and costing much time. Understand I do not blindly post content with out looking for rules. I'm happy to remove images granted there is nothing the uploader (me) can provide.
